AFAIK, this is a PyGTK bug that doesn't show up in 2.0 and later. I
don't test with anything older then 2.0, which is why it's listed as a
dependancy. ;) Otherwise I'd have to track down bugs in PyGTK for all
the 1.* versions in addition to all my own bugs, which would pretty much
mean I'd never get anything done.
Some might say "ok, what's the difference," but hey. ;)
But I'll see if I can catch all instances of this and pop in a empty
default value.

I'm working on the new version right now, I'll toss a note about this in
my TODO.

Quite a few programs seem to fall foul of a Gtk bug. The latest one I've
found that has this problem is RoxCD. It appears in line 128 of roxcd.py
the original line is:
temp = g.Label()
and I have to modify it to:
temp = g.Label('')

Not exactly a bug, just a feature that got added late.

Ah. I didn't realise that. Unfortunately I have no idea how to upgrade
PyGTK, especially as I don't want to risk breaking other parts of my
install (Mandrake 9.1)
